I have a small leak from my power steering rack. I just pulled the boot on the leaking side and the fluid leak is tiny, amounts to small seepage. But it is definitely going to get worse.
I'm wondering if anyone has attempted to replace the end seals on these without removing the rack. If so, how involved was the repair? The manual says the engine/transaxle assembly needs to be dropped to remove the rack, so replacing the rack is obviously a big job.
If in car seal replacement is not recommended, does anyone know if it is possible to remove/replace the rack without the engine assembly being dropped down?

 

I might have the same issue, is there anyone who has experienced this issue and has resolved it in an affordable way?

 

Update I used Lucas Oil Power steering stop leak to top up my PS Fluid tank. I went to the car the last few days and even before I used the PS Fluid I didn't notice any leakage on the cement. However I decided to still use the stop leak anyways. I also noticed that topping up my PS tank improved the steering feel noticeably.
